Mentorship is an integral component of SaLMA mission.  We understand that to advocate for the delivery of high quality and culturally humble healthcare to the Latino community means to support and guide the next generation of Latino physicians.  UC Davis School of Medicine medical students serve as SaLMA student members and are looking for mentors.

If you are interested in serving as a mentor, please contact info@salmamd.com.
